I request the listeners of “#MannKiBaat” to visit Pandharpur Wari at least once, whenever they get a chance: PM @narendramodi #MannKiBaat https://t.co/vBqvRCKVX8
Innumerable saints like Gyaneshwar, Namdev, Eknath, Ram Dass, Tukaram are relevant even today in educating the masses. They are imparting energy to fight against superstition in each and every corner across the country: PM @narendramodi #MannKiBaat
After 50 years of Tilak's birth, on the same day i.e. on July 23, another son of Mother India was born, who sacrificed his life so that his countrymen could breathe freely in an atmosphere of freedom. I am talking about none other than #ChandrasekharAzad: PM Modi #MannKiBaat
#ChandrashekharAzad put his life on the stake, but he never bowed in front of the foreign rule. It was my privilege and good fortune that I had the opportunity of going to Chandrasekhar Azad’s native village of Alirajpur in Madhya Pradesh: PM @narendramodi #MannKiBaat

It is sad to see through this video that Rajiv Malhotra is now trying to scramble over what in my opinion is an endless rhetorical pit, where he has not only let himself fall by attempting this new coinage writes @SreejitDatta https://t.co/h9B4t9HSt0
Frustrated with tendency among Hindus to run after वेश (garb) ie easily getting fooled by anyone in garb of Sadhu-Mahatma, Aurobindo observed the following. Remember Gandhi had become household name as Ram-Bhakta with his teachings (of Christianity) unrecognized by anyone. 1/n https://t.co/zNNlgoGMdp
Mandatory rituals like bath, washed attire, special place etc to read our treasure codes like Ramayana, Mahabharata or Vedas etc are ‘diversions’ to keep young inquisitive minds away from chasing them. Don’t bother abt rituals. Go ahead and read them. As projects to chase Truth.
Shouldn't Odisha (Kalinga) be included in South for such evaluations?
It is for this reason that I feel it's disingenous of southern folk to mock the Hindi belt for the poverty and assume it proves that the former are naturally smarter and more hard https://t.co/zs4bXUJpmK was largely historical advantage.

I will come back to this once i complete my thread on Charvaka Vs Veda positions.
Despite all the expletives thrown at me by his devout Chelas, I don't hate him. Regarding being cult leader, is there anyone else too who uses Linguistics methods to interpret Vedas donning traditional Brahmin hat?
Hindus have been rather adept in adapting the best practices of the other two better-organised religions.

BRILLIANT by @jsaideepak. My cultural position hasn't changed [an atheist has no skin in the game, mind] but legal position now does after reading this. https://t.co/HPUWtuRsD8
From @jsaideepak: 1. Deity has constitutional rights. 2. Deity here is celibate & faith ordains ovulating women keep distance. 3. Temple isn't run by State.
If I may, though, that a deity also has constitutional rights came as a shock to me. Is that not a dangerous road to take?

A razor-sharp column denouncing the 'curious alliance between rootless rationalism and...judicial absolutism". There's no short-cut to social reforms. Ram Mohun Roy, whom @Ram_Guha chose as one of the Makers of Modern India, worked hard, his way up for abolition of Satee. https://t.co/EC0ZAyWoJD

There you go, Sir, refusing to attend, then saying it's all one-sided? Unfortunately, the days of "pancha bakaar" (brainwashing, bullying, boycotting, browbeating, bullshitting) won't work anymore. But don't be unhappy; burnol still works. https://t.co/sAkgruAzTB
"Earn" vs "sell"--are we missing something here, Ma'am? As if only one side pays for or pushes bots? And as if the rest aren't in the business of fans, fads, fantasies, fundas, fools, followers, foods, fashions, fads, firangis &, ah, "farragos"...? https://t.co/hhAg4vYAgn

In ancient India, discussions or debates were a means to arriving at knowledge and wisdom.
Sadly, today, the goal is just to win.
Contrary to the myth perpetuated in Britain, India's fight for independence was violent. More than 10 million Indians were killed by the British in the years following the 1857 uprising alone. Heroes like Bhagat Singh, Surya Sen & Udham Singh all fought to the death for freedom.
But let us not refight the wars or wrongs of the past. Let us truly go forward together as brothers, sisters and friends.
Indeed, yes, all for honest history but not antagonistic history. An Irish fellow once held me accountable for the actions of Henry VIII #itwasntme
